Cheese Sandwiches

A good day is when we have cheese sandwiches and peas for lunch, and the cups are all in the washer so I use a little jar for Orion’s cup.

And a good day is when Orion asks how a jar can be a cup, and when, after our cheese sandwiches and peas, we walk all around the house looking for things that can be used for purposes they weren’t made for.

It’s good to do some pretty clever thinking-- and then to find things to use for hats.

Lots of things can be worn as hats, but most of them probably shouldn’t.

It’s a good day when we put weird things on our heads until we collapse like empty boxes onto the rug and lie in the sun giggling for ages.

Now I'm going to have some coffee and work on a project that I really, really want to work on. But I wanted first to tell you about the good day.

Here is a video of my oldest two spontaneously arguing in song during a car trip over whether a Thomas the Tank Engine plate can be used as a hat:http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5040578374447915936

k -- They had started singing before Lori got the camera out. The video doesn't include the whole first "aria", unfortunately, in which Molly placed the plate on her head and began proclaiming it a hat in song, inviting all of us to "see she pretty hat".
